the blogger decoder

I've been blogging for over 3 years. I own 1 domain and keep my blog and any other content I produce on the same site. I use Blogger, BigBlogTool, upsaid or other similar service to update a site on my own web host. I link only to sites I like to read (and sites that I have time to read) on a regular basis. I check my stats occasionally, mostly to discover new blogs that are linking to mine. I don't link to any of the A-list blogs (Megnut, Kottke, Robot Wisdom, etc.)... if I ever want to visit their site, I'll just follow a link from someone else's blog. I don't post that frequently. In fact, I'm lucky if I manage to post 2 or 3 new entries a week. I blog from either home or work, but only after my work is done and when I get some free time. My entries are a mix of some original material, some web links, and links and comments about other blogs. I might flirt a little with other bloggers, but anything beyond that is out of the question. I have posted at least a photo of my face on my blog, but not much more. I've taken a few surveys or participated in a few memes, but there seem to be so many of them I have to pick and choose. Friends know about my blog, but I generally don't talk about it with some groups (ie: family and/or co-workers) because they probably wouldn't get the whole blogging concept.
